The Massachusetts Maritime men’s soccer team is seeking its fifth straight post-season berth this fall, and as Head Coach Greg Perry prepares for his 25th campaign on the Buccaneer bench, the veteran mentor has tabbed a trio of his upperclassmen to serve as tri-captains.

Seniors Mick Rouette (Three Rivers, Mass./Monson) and Chris Beaulieu (Carver, Mass./Carver), along with junior William Taylor (Hanover, Mass./Hanover), will serve in those leadership roles for Massachusetts Maritime, which posted seven victories and advanced to the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference semifinals for the third time in four years last fall.

Perry, the dean of MASCAC mentors, describes his captains as "leaders by action who continue to uphold and strengthen the tradition of our program. They know my expectations, but they’ve set higher ones for themselves and their teammates both on and off the field. They will continue to represent our program and the Academy with great pride."

Beaulieu started in 16 of 18 matches last season and collected a goal and two helpers for four points from his backfield spot. The Carver High graduate has four goals and four assists in 51 career games with the Buccaneers.

Massachusetts Maritime opens its 2017 schedule on Saturday with a non-league match at Suffolk that begins at 1:00 p.m.
